Events about Preference Handling

AIPREF 2007

The workshop on preference handling for artificial intelligence had been held on July 22, 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in conjunction with AAAI-07, organized by Jon Doyle, Judy Goldsmith, Ulrich Junker, and Jérôme Lang. The workshop proceedings are available as AAAI Technical Report WS-07-10. The fourteen papers apply preferences to AI problems such as e-commerce, auctions, intelligent assistance, winner determination in majority voting, game theory, search for solving combinatorial problems, configuration, meeting scheduling, geographic map generation, peer-to-peer networks, and conference paper assignment. The papers address questions concerning the elicitation, learning, representation of preferences, and optimization under preferences. A report about the workshop is included in the AAAI 2007 Workshop Reports published in AI Magazine,Vol. 28, No 4. The workshop provided the basis for the special issue of the AI Magazine on preferences, volume 29, No 4, Winter 2008.

AIPREF 2002

The workshop on preferences in artificial intelligence and constraint programming had been organized by Jim Delgrande, Jon Doyle, Ulrich Junker, Francesca Rossi, and Torsten Schaub. It had been held on July 28 - 29, 2002 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in conjunction with AAAI-02. The workshop proceedings are available as AAAI Technical Report WS-02-13. The workshop program consisted of an invited talk on “Preferences: Some Problems and Prospects” and sixteen presentations on topics such as preferences and soft constraints, logical approaches to preferences, preferences and agents, decision theory, and preference elicitation. A report about the workshop is included in the AAAI 2002 Workshop Reports published in AI Magazine,Vol. 23, No 4. The workshop provided the basis for the special issue of Computational Intelligence on preferences, volume 20, number 2, 2004.
